What should I bring? 
Pencils, eraser, and calculator may be brought into the testing room with you.

What can I bring to leave in the quad or hallway? 
You may want to bring a water bottle and a snack for the break time. While you don’t have a ton of time to eat and drink, it can give you a boost of energy. Bring smart snacks like fruit or granola. You may bring your phone or smartwatch, but these must stay outside the testing room. 

What about accommodations? 
If you have an accommodation plan, Ms. Trecek will be in contact with you about testing with accommodations. If you have questions, please direct them to her. 

What about my score? 
Marian will be able to see your score, just like any ACT test. You’ll also receive this score and you can send this score (if you desire) to colleges. This is a true ACT test. 

How do I get my score sent to colleges?
Prior to the test beginning, you’ll be able to enter the college information where you’d like your score sent for free. After the test you’ll be charged the standard fee of $16 to send your score to colleges. You will do this by logging into your account on act.org.

Can I get a reduced registration fee for the ACT?
If you qualify for a fee voucher for the ACT test, then the test is free. You should see your counselor if you believe this applies to you.
